In the middle of the Caribbean heading to Curacao

Howdy Mates,

   Ft. Lauderdale is Ft. Lauderdale.  I met Chris got him on board and settled.  Had a leisurely afternoon on board in Florida.  We are now on our second day at sea heading to Curacao.  We are tomorrow early am and we spend the entire day on the island.

  These two days have been most relaxing.  The warmth of the setting is indeed welcome after crossing the frigid Atlantic.  The seas are very calm and the temp is warm.  Great deck chair sitting and sleeping.  I forgot to mention that while in Florida there were eight other ships in port.  What a sight.  Pulling out one after the other.  It was a gigantic procession into the sea.

  Yesterday went to two lectures, one movie and a formal dinner.  I was exhausted by the end of the day.  Stopped in the Golden lion Pub for fish and chips at lunch yesterday.  Nice break.  Remind me to tell you about the food services and the many options available
  Today looks like I may spend some time at  one of the pools soaking in some sun.

  Take care.  I'll be in touch.

     Bill
